Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ita, I hope you make it through okay.
msbelle, you must be so happy to get your jewelry back. Note - alcohol/peroxide aren't recommended for piercings any more, nor is twisting. Probably not a big deal, but fyi.

Cleaning Solutions
Use one or both of the following solutions for healing piercings:
* Packaged sterile saline solution with no additives (read the label), or a non-iodized sea salt mixture: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8oz) of warm distilled or bottled water. A stronger mixture is not better; a saline solution that is too strong can irritate the piercing. * A mild, fragrance-free liquid soap-preferably anti-microbial or germicidal.
Cleaning Instructions for Body Piercings
* WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason. * SALINE soak for five to ten minutes once or more per day. Invert a cup of warm saline solution over the area to form a vacuum. For certain piercings it may be easier to apply using clean gauze or paper towels saturated with saline solution. A brief rinse afterward will remove any residue. * SOAP no more than once or twice a day. While showering, lather up a pearl size drop of the soap to clean the jewelry and the piercing. Leave the cleanser on the piercing no more than thirty seconds, then rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap from the piercing. It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry through the piercing. * DRY by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products. Cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry, causing injury.

What's wrong with alcohol/peroxide?

Saline!! That actually makes sense. Lots of the cleaning we do for Grace's trache/g-tube are done with saline or just soap and water. Saline is also great to get blood stains out of things... much better than just water, ftr. Don't know why.
In fact, we have these but in 15ML instead of 5ML: [link] which are awesome for things like contacts or you know, helping your sick kid. Also, they are perfect for nasal stuff.

I have had a truly sucky morning so far. First, I slept in until 9:15 (I meant to be at work by 9:30). Then, after making three stops on the way into work, I managed to spill my large orange juice all over my desk as soon as I got to my cubicle. My garbage can is now full of all of the paperwork which I was meaning to go through and mostly get rid of anyway, but I also have a slightly damaged family photo (the oj seeped into the picture frame) and I've depleted everyone's napkins in the aisle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
New Guy has joshed me about having an 8-5 headache. He really has no place to make those jokes, given when he does or doesn't start his day. Yes, I was an hour later than I normally am. No, I don't feel up to being here. Hmmph.

I think ita should kill New Guy. Especially if he's the same as Late Guy, which is not yet clear to me. Who's with me?
